IND Vs SA Live Cricket Score, 2nd Test Day 2: Kuldeep Under Heat As Double Warning Spurs Fiery Start | SA 265/6

Kuldeep steps in for his first spell of the day, but things get spicy even before he lets the ball go. He’s slow to get started, the umpires aren’t amused, and suddenly he’s sitting on two warnings.

Pant doesn’t bother hiding his frustration, waving him along to speed it up, because one more slip and India hand over five free runs. Spin is on, tension is up, and the over hasn’t even properly begun.

Senuran Muthusamy and Kyle Verreynne are hanging in as Siraj steams in with intent, testing Muthusamy twice in a row, first a length ball outside off that’s calmly tapped to cover, then a fuller one that he meets with a solid bat but no run again. India keep the pressure high, South Africa try to stay patient, and the little battles in the middle are starting to heat up.

Siraj bustles in with purpose, new ball hissing, field set tight with two slips and a gully waiting. "We Will Rock You" shakes the ground as Guwahati warms up, and Muthusamy gets tested right away.

Siraj goes full at 131kph, shaping it back in, and Muthusamy holds his ground, the bat coming down late enough for an inside-edge to trickle toward backward square for a single. India won’t mind, they’ve started exactly in the zone they wanted.

The India vs South Africa second Test match will be live-streamed on the JioHotstar app and website in India. The television broadcast will take place on the Star Sports Network channels in the country.

Greetings and welcome to everyone joining us nice and early this Sunday, ahead of the start of the second day of the second and final Test in Guwahati.
